On Monday's Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to Prince, who died at 57 on Thursday, with a story about the legendary musician challenging Fallon to a game of ping-pong. 

Despite having a newborn at home, Fallon headed over to the Manhattan ping-pong club where Prince was waiting, paddle in hand. After all, when one of the biggest musicians of all time wants to play you in table tennis, you go no matter the circumstances. 

As for who won: "He kicked my ass."
